-
Justiciar Writing (@JusticiarWrits) reported@TheActMan_YT I genuinely love Overwatch and this hurts so badly. All the promises they made to us in 1 broken and people for some unknown reason think it's justified because the glorified patch is 'the new way to make a sequel ' or w/e the marketing line was.

Jon Daniel (@binarycleric) reported500 people in front of me in the queue to login to Overwatch 2. Fun. I know this is the norm for a Blizzard game launch but holy crap.
-
DaxMichael (@DaxMichael685) reported@itshumanmichael What little of Overwatch 2 I played was enough to actually get me back into it, but obviously can't play at all thanks to the server issues lol
-
Kenjin (28.10.2022) (@YamadaKenjin) reported@char_shikama Haven't touched a Blizzard game either. Plus Overwatch 2 literally got DDoS so I'm good lmao
-
societalspoon (@thedrunknchickn) reportedSo,this overwatch 2 thing,i bought into it before i knew it was so much trouble and so shifty, like i have a contrqct phone,so i can play, but not allowing people who don't to play? I see this getting reversed soon,or it sinking the game,cuz the locking of heroes is **** enough.
-
Shane Armstrong: Tag Team Rasslor Vtuber (@VShaneArmstrong) reportedFinally got in, all of my mains are locked because of the broken tutorial except Orisa, who's basically a new character compared to when I stopped playing Overwatch 1 (stopped around Sigma launch). What a joke of a launch this is haha
-
Jonas (@Jonas38674050) reported@BlizzardCS Hey, if my phone number is verified in the security checkup, does that mean it's also valid for Overwatch 2? I ask because I can't know for sure since I haven't been able to get into to the game due to numerous login errors. Wishing you guys a speedy process!
-
not jacob (@mrjakeyshakey) reportednot to be a gamer but man this overwatch 2 launch is so disappointing, I wish the first game was still available while 2 is sorting out the server issues
-
Laylin BlueFox (@BlueFoxGamein) reportedI know Blizzard is suffering from ddos attacks, but I could have easily played a match of Valorant while waiting to get into Overwatch 2. The fact I can confidently say that means a lot
-
🅱️ (@BrysonRoss333) reported@Depressed_ahh @CHAINSAWKlD @Hench4Sale I don’t have anything from original overwatch at all, it’s gone from the DDOS attacks from what I know but I think I seen that it’ll all be restored or something
-
Balakae (@Gojiknot) reported@PlayOverwatch I’m sorry but this is a ******* joke. If you get DDoSed I understand but the amount of **** still absolutely broken is insane. I love overwatch don’t get me wrong but wow, had so many years to develop this and this is the launch
-
Loulou (@_loulou06) reportedOverwatch 2 having a queue to play the game is so stupid fix that ****

-
Jt Redmond (@Crewsupporter93) reported@BlizzardCS @Brad83173837 You f***** are a disgrace to gaming, fix your busted game! Let people with pay as you go phones authenticate their account, give overwatch 1 veterans our level and unlocks back and stop cowering behind your automated messages and excuses of being DDOSED!
-
🌸✨Spirit Blossom Rennis✨🌸 (@XRennisx) reported@Riptide242 Overwatch having DDOS issues??? Who could have expected THAT?
-
🔪DIE 💀 SCREAM 🔥 HATE 🖤 (@CLOWNFIEND) reportedAlso like FromSoft had some minor issues (still does from time to time) with servers dropping at launch but I don't know a single PS4 player who's been able to even GET INTO THE GAME for overwatch
-
Fightin’ demons 👹 (@steph_suplex) reportedsince I've started studying computer science this Overwatch 2 DDoS attack is lowkey hilarious! Someone out there is using a bunch of zombies to flood Blizzard servers like "**** them kids" lmao
-
EwokNuggets (@Tmdouglass) reported@PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS i know there are issues with Overwatch 2 but why is it every person on my friends list has gotten in yet I can’t. I’ve tried for like 8 hours total and keep getting error messages. 😖
-
star guardian danny 🧜🏽♂️ (@chilloutdanny_) reportedabby updates on the overwatch server issues? @BlizzardCS
-
Peter John Rodgers (@LoadedQuestion) reportedI know @ATVI_AB is having enough trouble with #Overwatch2’s launch, but the @Xbox digital store uses the same page for Overwatch 1. Meaning the reviews from the first game are counting towards the ratings of the “sequel.” That has to be illegal somewhere, right?
-
TehVeto (@VetoTeh) reported@OrdinaryGamers Maybe they only planned for the same volume that Overwatch one was at. And the "ddos" is stalling to get servers ready for a real playerbase
